I just checked and Firefox finally supports it (added Dec 2023). I have a javascript workaround still in place for Firefox and it looks like I can remove that. ;) All the other mainstream browsers added :has in 2022 and it was an excellent fit for some layout optimizations.

What the huh? This has to be a joke, yeah? Those things in the sea move out of the way when things that appear threatening move through the area. Why would this be any different to that? Or to any other man made vessel in that same area. I only typed this out in case you're having a brain fart, otherwise I really feel like there should be cameras around like I'm being punk'd.

I get that, I've practiced with my ergo board for like a year and still don't use it exclusively bc of one-handing stuff (though learning a new layout at the same time cert. didn't help).

There's a layout based on multi-key chords called Taipo that has this really interesting "reversable" property, in that each half is a mirrored copy of the other, so you can type any letter (or eg. tab or return) with either hand. I think that's super cool, but don't think chording is for me, so I'm trying to imagine what a compromise might look like.
Same, and now I'm fantasizing about the Netflix movie about manta rays unscrewing submarines
> The highest peak electricity demand in the UK in recent years was 62GW in 2002. Since then, the nation’s peak demand has fallen by roughly 16% due to improvements in energy efficiency.

> Even if we all switched to EVs overnight, we estimate demand would only increase by around 10%. So we’d still be using less power as a nation than we did in 2002, and this is well within the range the grid can capably handle.

> In the US, the grid is equally capable of handling more EVs on the roads – by the time 80% of the US owns an EV, this will only translate into a 10-15% increase in electricity consumption.1

I was listening to the Clean Code audiobook, and the author made the case that every programming paradigm introduced restrictions into what the programmer was allowed to do; i.e., operated at a higher level of abstraction. The author then claimed that since the existing paradigms all came out in quick succession without any new paradigms in decades, and there was no power left to strip, no new paradigms would be likely to emerge.

And here we are in 2024 watching the emergence of natural language programming, where we merely describe the program's specification in natural language and have the computer generate the rest. There's your new paradigm.
They didn't say it wasn't mature, they said it is absolute trash.

My point is to agree that it isn't mature. Why isn't it mature? Well... nobody has access to these things. Today, they are only available behind HPC / hyperscaler walls. In order to gain some maturity, someone needs to offer them out in the wild. That's where I come in.

Having the right tools can make the experiences far, far better. But it's often not a requirement. I can imagine the prospect of cutting dozens of rabbets by hand using a rabbet plane might keep some people away. If they had the space and money for a router table or table saw setup to cut dados they might stick with it and create more things. It's the same with programming. There are tons of developers who learned when there weren't good tools or documentation and became deep experts. As the tools got easier and easier to learn, the bar for who could participate dropped as well. So we have a lot of productive developers today who couldn't have really participated in "old school" software development at all. Ultimately I agree with you though. A willingness to try is 80% of the challenge it seems.
And our government has literally made it its mission to limit domestic oil production (canceling keystone, blocking permits, ceasing to lease federal land. I’m guessing all the net zero regressives were quite happy about the high prices too

> I do not consider "prompt engineering" to be a substitute for programming

It's also not nearly mature enough for learning it be a good ROI in a degree program. Community college or adult education class? Maybe. Bootcamp track? Sure, I guess. Novelty elective for a few easy credits and some fun? Totally.

But if I'm a student in the midst of a prolonged, expensive program spanning years, learning how to coax results out of today's new generative AI tooling is not preparing me very well at all for what I can expect when I try to enter the workforce 2 or 4 or 8 more years. The tools and the ways to interface them, "Prompt Engineering" or whatever else it's called will inevitably evolve dramatically between now and then. So why am I learning it while I'm still deep in my academic bubbles? And what are prospective employers getting from a degree that focused heavily on some now-defunct and dated techniques? My degree is supposed to mean that I've learned foundational material and am ready to be productive on something, but what that mean when too much of what I've learned is outdated?
Similar story here with high school calc. My TI-89 had a better CAS than the TI-84. It's been 16 years, and I often find myself wishing I knew how to do basic integrals.

I get by, but I often feel a bit handicapped vs my peers. Like building a house on a shaky foundation.
A dev who coded Dijkstra will catch up with any new framework in no time. A dev who never went into algorithms will not even know how to program some things and where to find information.

Having worked with both kinds - I'll take a dev with experience in algorithms and no knowledge of a framework we need to use over an opposite. Especially in times of GPT, where gpt will allow you to switch to a new framework in no time, but struggle with anything besides the boilerplate code structure.
Yeah this is a similar phenomenon. AI is not so good at recognizing that you're looking for the "general" solution to the problem, one that will holistically fit in with the rest of the codebase/objective, and what has been provided as an example is really just a special case.

I think part of the problem is that instruction fine tuning is not done on full codebases, just shorter problems that fit into reasonable (8K, 32K) context windows. By nature these problems are more specific, so they are biased in that direction from the start.
Automobile accidents. Household chemicals (too many household cleaners look too much like apple juice). Sticking things in electrical outlets. Listening to dares from other children.

Childhood is safer than it was, but it's not safe. And it's really hard to teach kids about every danger before they run into them.

I once screamed "stop" at my two-year-old daughter, when it was life or death. She stopped, without knowing why. Sometimes obedience really matters.

On the other hand... my kids were playing outside with a hose on a hot day. They came inside for something - and brought the running hose inside with them. That kind of thing can drive you crazy - but it wasn't obedience, because it never crossed my mind to tell them not to do that, because why would anybody do that? So you have to not call something "obedience" when it's just childishness. Worry about obedience on the things that matter.
I’m not sure if this uses unoconv with LibreOffice but my heart goes out to anyone trying to develop Pdf/document manipulation tools with the current Python libraries. A thankless task.

The more you work on this stuff the more you hate proprietary formats as well as having to rely on open source repos operated at the whim of a few good people.
Religious prophecy is an interesting example. It highlights the distinction between "explanation" and "prediction". Here, the explanation takes the form of a hypothesis that there is an omniscient deity. Is this a falsifiable hypothesis? Yes we can point to the accuracy of the predictions as an argument in its favour, but that doesn't differentiate between the deity hypothesis and - for example - an alien species with advanced predictive power that lives secretly among us. And if there were other tests that could be used to distinguish the deity hypothesis from alternatives, then I feel that the deity is behaving within the laws of nature.

But isn't it one of those things where someone with a higher VO2 is likely doing healthy things that they have lower risk. Rather than a lower risk simply because their VO2 is higher.
Yeah, it’s not explained very well. If you click the “Cellular automata” link [1], that paper explains it in more detail. A cell’s next state is determined by its color and its neighbors’ colors.

For example, the top left corner of the key shows that if a cell is blue and its neighbors are blue, it will remain blue. The one to the right shows that if a cell is blue and has a blue cell on the left and a red cell on the right, it will switch to white.

> Good luck debugging code you aren't skilled enough to write.

We already have this problem, even without the LLM-generated code. I see younger developers pull out all sorts of tiny libraries because a) they think it will save them time, b) they are insecure about the correctness of their code, and c) they often have no idea where to start when problems start to happen (solving problem is usually writing a github ticket or blindly trying another library).

I think LLMs will exacerbate the problem. These days I rarely see engineering spirit in figuring out how things work, willing to understand deeply OS or compiler internals, or even trying some crazy ideas, like "let's write a JIT to speed up our DSL".
Kind of like how a human visualizes before a sport.?

The greasier areas of your skin will produce sebum regardless temperature, and sebum breeds bacteria. It might be that your particular bacterial culture isn't as smelly, but humans definitely smell.

Animals that are on the top of the food chain, like us, have no pressure to select for less body odor, contrary to defenseless preys or pets bred to be hypoallergenic.

Humans, like most great apes, smell naturally.

I did tech support at different times for both retail customers and coworkers. For people's personal computers I'd make every effort to fix it as it was, and was usually pretty successful. Occasionally there'd be a virus too deep or the thing would be loaded up with so much bloat from the factory that a reinstall was easier, but I'd try to put files back in place and reinstall as many programs as I could.

When I was working company IT I'd just wipe and reimage. All their stuff was in OneDrive or Sharepoint, and 90% of the apps were in SCCM. That way I didn't have to worry about missing a problem or weird issues relating to updating instead of installing from scratch, and it was faster so they'd get back to work sooner anyway
Yes. You ask an LLM to ask you questions until it's clear what you want to do.
You can do this, and sometimes it works, but more often than not it does not. it's basically the blind leading the blind. With the current state of LLM hallucinations, it's very easy to be given bad or outright wrong answers, and if you don't know any better (which as a jr you probably don't) you'll just end up running in circles.

I think this will def get better over time though.
Can you include a license? Will it be MIT like sqlite-vss?
I might be a curmudgeon, but I think that even teaching CS in Python is too new-fangled and high-level for CS students. Learning the hard way with C/C++ (or for a more modern flair Go or Rust) and understanding how to handle pointers and memory allocation makes it a lot easier to debug things when the higher level languages and frameworks have issues. A class or two on coding with AI would be great at the undergrad level, but not basing an entire curriculum on it.

Yeah, this is my experience as well. Once I've fully fleshed out the requirements to the point that there is zero ambiguity in what I want, I've basically written a pseudocode implementation already and the AI is just saving me some typing.

> To "know that" you'd first have to know more than zero about streaming, licensing etc.

Serving this level of arrogance after that cheap derailment show is hilarious.

It didn't help that in Poland was an aggresive country in 1930s too, and was waging aggressive wars against its neighbours (read, "Lithuania"), and occupying and bruttaly polonizing what was never its ever. Not too say that Lithuania was not run by own nationalists, who also managed to get into military conflicts with Latvian "brothers". The moral is that the whole Europe was boiling in every own nationalism that culminated with WW2. Thinking that it can never repeat is as delusional as 100 years ago
I think the disconnect with these tools is that their endgame is not to be a developer tool, it’s to take them out of the loop.

I feel like you're missing the point. If you're having a machine translate it for you, you aren't learning German. Similarly, if you're having a machine translate an English-language request into Python, you aren't learning Python.

To say that, as the article says, "Professors are shifting away from syntax and emphasizing higher-level skills" essentially means "Professors have stopped teaching programing languages and have started teaching how to turn natural language problems into AI prompts."

Higher-level problem solving skills are important, but I am skeptical of eschewing a lower-level foundation in favor of only teaching higher-level problem solving skills.

This is what I'm referring to.

Houses mostly, the reason we need such high voltage is because someone can turn on an oven and consume 5kw. But that oven only runs for 1 hour, or more averagely, 30 minutes. So in the context of 200kwh battery systems at EVERY house, and inverters at every house, that oven can easily run off the inverter, and the house would never need to pull down heavy wattage from the grid. In this scenario, the grid's variability goes down dramatically, thus, reducing the voltage requirements... Instead every house would have small solar and a trickle feed of, lets say 800w-1kw consistently during the day.

Additionally, for places that have a shit-ton of sun, can do much better with microgrids and generators.
Life will survive beyond humanity, trust me. Intelligence already exists in a few animals on this planet, and another few million years could have them at the top of the food chain, exploring our relics.
